Did she get tested?Most definitely. The timing on this feels too coincidental, so while I'm expecting the worst, I'm still keeping cool and ready to fight it. Neither of us have health issues or a history of any respiratory issues, so I think we'll be able to sav it out.
Told her anything she needs I got her, and to take as much time off work as necessary.
Gone rep y'all soon as this site lets me again.

i hope pence gets it. cant really think of worse ether
Is there an in-depth article/report on how the infected are treated on these cruise ships?
This whole thing seems wildly unethical. Leaving elderly, infected patients quarantined on a ship in what I imagine has to be subpar medical care.
How hard is it to evacuate 21 already confirmed cases safely off the ship and into a hospital? And leave the rest, that are not positive/showing symptoms, on the ship?

If anything good comes of this besides a high survival rate it'll be the exposure of America's fragile healthcare system and the inadequacy of sick leave policies for most rank and file American workers. It's reckoning has been a long time coming.
One can hope.
96 million cases though?
That's like a fourth of the US population. I'm not worried personally, but I have two great grandmas in their 90s and grandparents in their late 70s.

DOPAMINE FOR MY BABY!!
That's all well and good but the flu has more actual deaths. There's not even a proper testing regimen globally so there are likely hundreds of thousands of cases that have gone undiagnosed that believe they have a common cold/flu, asymptomatic, or have recovered that would need to be taken into account for a proper death rate, which would of course, drop.
When people bring up the flu they are bringing up sheer numbers, not potential mass casualties. Historically the flu kills tens of thousands of people per season in the US alone. Nothing to sneeze at (). While the Coronavirus is something to take seriously; the fear, panic, and overreaction to a disease that has killed 3,000 globally (mainly in the epicenter of China) as compared to the apathy we have towards Influenza which has centuries of 100k per year deaths globally is going to look funny. And it is.
This ain't no damn flu breh. this is scary shyt
I know, the flu has more bodies.
There are a number of indicators that while this is serious, hundreds of thousands of deaths, let alone millions, is wild speculation and it's irresponsible for experts to allow that sort of information to get out to the public. Like dude you quoted wants a soundbite. Coronavirus is a very serious issue. But the scariest disease ever? Come on man. But the media isn't looking for measured responses right now, I get it.

flu is deadly cuz people don't take it seriously. i had a flu in december, and i took 1 day off. that's it. i went to work, went out, and fight it off. that's how flu goes around. i didn't quarantine myself for 14 days because it's just a damn flu. we gotta vaccine and 99.9% of people will recover.
and you are comparing .1% death rate to 3.4% death rate while being highly infectious. that's 34 times more deadly so far. i think death rate will go down, but still anything over 2% is ridiculous. that's spanish flu!!
i mean just look at what's going on iran and italy. they had like 2-5 people infected 3 weeks ago. now they combine over 10k.

There were projections last week saying 50-60% global infection rate so that is actually down from where we were just at in modeling
